In July 2025, a disturbing discovery was made in an Atlanta, Georgia parking garage when two dogs were found strangled. Security cameras recorded a man entering the facility with the animals and departing about 20 minutes later without them.
The garage manager later found the dogs deceased, with necropsies confirming strangulation as the cause of death. Evidence of prior abuse was also noted.
